1 Local rules are adopted rules governing play for CYB. These rules are a supplement to the governing rules of Major League Baseball and PONY Baseball Inc. These rules are designed to tailor participation in the Mustang division to meet the objectives of CYB. Violation of these rules may result in forfeiture of the game, and/or suspension of a Manager, Coach, or Player, at the discretion of the CYB Board. 1. Objectives of the Mustang Division: 1.1 Continue to build players skills and game knowledge. 1.2 Introduce players, coaches and parents to the concepts of: Unlimited runs per inning Position Specific Training 1.3 Having Fun! 2.

No sunflower seeds, snacks, food, gum or glass bottles are allowed. 2.7 Base coaches under the age of 18 must wear a protective batting helmet 2.8 A base runner is automatically out and subject to ejection if in the Umpire's judgment: He/she fails to slide which results in a hard collision at any base other than 1st when the ball arrives simultaneously with or before the runner. He/she slides "with cleats high" carelessly or attempts to intimidate or injure a defensive player in any way. He/she purposely attempts to dislodge a ball from a defensive player other than by a slide. 2.9 Defensive players may not block the progress of a runner without possession of the ball. To do so is "defensive interference" and should be ruled as such by the Umpire Batter throwing the bat (non-sportsmanlike infractions) - For safety reasons, a player may be removed from a game by the Umpire (non-ejection) for multiple offenses of throwing the bat. The umpire must first issue a warning to the player for throwing the bat. The umpire may remove the player from the game for a subsequent infraction during the game. An umpire cannot declare a player out for throwing the bat. If a ball is put in play, the umpire must allow all play to stop then take appropriate action. A substitute runner may be used to replace a player removed from the game under this safety provision. The removed players batting spot shall be skipped over without penalty for the remainder of the game A player removed from the game under this provision shall not be considered ejected from the game and shall not be subject to additional game suspensions. If player is removed from the game by the umpire, he is removed from playing defensively as well for the remainder of the game. 3. MANAGERS & COACHES 3.1 No more than one manager and two coaches are allowed on the field during games. There must be one manager/coach in the dugout at all times. 3.2 Once the game begins, managers and coaches are not allowed to leave the playing field without permission from the umpire.
